About 3.5 years ago, I featured a sketched art print of the Mukilteo Lighthouse, which was just the lighthouse structure itself. I had also sketched a different perspective of the compound that I did not include in that post. I had almost forgotten about that particular viewpoint until I came across it the other day. The photograph it was based on was taken as the ferry from Whidbey island, Washington was docking at Mukilteo (Mukilteo is north of Seattle and south of Everett). The structures look like little doll houses and you actually have all three structures in this print. The two little “homes” actually flag the small lighthouse. I really liked the perspective of this composition and the sketching technique as it creates a rustic and romantic look.
The lighthouse is a working lighthouse with the ferry dock right next door and sits on Possession Sound. The structure was opened in 1906 and for more information on Wikipedia, click here.

I’ve been there! I love your depiction. Happy New Year Kirt!!
Thanks Darlene….since you’ve been there….the buildings do look like doll houses don’t they ? Happy New Year to you and your family! Hope your time back with family and friends in Canada was good!!
Yes, they do! I had a fabulous time with my family and friends.
Wow, very nice!
Thank you very much! I hadn’t looked at it in some time and when I came across it again just jumped out at me!!
I really like the composition and sketched look too! It reminds me that I used to like drawing as a child.
Thanks Brad…..have you thought about taking up drawing again??
A little but I’m more focused on work and money right now.
I have been there too!! I love Mukilteo!!! Used to live in Lake Stevens, just directly east of Everett! Great place. Beautiful sketch!!!
Thank you….one of our daughters and her husband live in Lake Stevens. Love the area! Thanks for the feedback…much appreciated!!
Lake Stevens is a wonderful place to live!!!
They love it!!
This is wonderful, Kirt. It’s a beautiful sketch.
Thank you very much Dan!!
I love the view from the water. I also like the texture that the sketching editing provides. Well done!
Thanks for stopping by Sue and thank you for the feedback!!
It’s a lovely print, Kirt. I’m amazed by how you captured the rain. Terrific work.
The darker side of the writer in me wants to know more about any place called Possession Sound (geographical “sound” has always been intriguing to me even with out that). What a story setting it would make! Happy New Year hugs.
Thanks for the feedback and for stopping by! The Pacific Northwest is just so beautiful!
I’ve actually been there! My aunt and uncle live in that area. Nice work!
I love the entire area…..two of our three daughters and their husbands live in the Seattle area so we are up there numerous times a year!!
Also thanks for the feedback and for stopping by!!
Oh it’s beautiful there. You’ve got the perfect reason to visit too!
A quaint and lovely abstraction of an oceanic scene. Lighthouses are so American. What a nice nautical share. ❤❤❤❤❤ Best wishes for the new year Kirt! Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!! Happy New Year to you!
